About Us
Our Beginning
We initially teamed up as part of a project team for the ECE Design Competition in February 2019. ECE Design Competition was held by the ECE Department at the University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with Design Lab and other departments on campus. The goal of this competition was to improve the quality of life of patients and caregivers of Parkinson's Disease.
Journey to Startup
We won the ECE Design Competition's "Popular Prize" and carried this momentum into creating a startup here on campus. Since the design competition, we have been doing more customer discovery as part of different incubator programs such as NSF I-Cops, Blue Linc, and the Basement. We have also interviewed Physical Therapists and Neurologists who see Parkinson's patients on a daily basis. After careful discussions, we have decided to create a balance device that goes further than just solving problems for Parkinson's patients.
Current Work
We are currently exploring different applications for our insole and we are excited by our findings. Currently, we have established that there is a large need for balance tech in athletics, so we have been speaking with coaches and athletes in and around Southern California. Our work on our prototype remains promising and ongoing.
Future of Stasis
Timing is critical for new solutions, and we believe current events could lead to many future opportunities. Firstly, due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increase in demand for technology that can be adapted remotely. Additionally, with increasing strides in Machine learning, now is the opportune moment to take advantage of the growing field to enable accurate real-time feedback in balance tech.
The Team
I am a Computer Science graduate student at Stanford University, specifically interested in Artificial Intelligence and its applications. Passionate about products that can bring positive, tangible transformation in people’s lives, I co-founded Stasis in a bid to enrich the application of what most of us take for granted: our balance.
